One of my latest recipes to incorporate “daal’ in my diet without having it in the traditional sense! I’ve been trying to be on a more dairy-free diet and am attempting to cut down on processed food. This was a result of it, my mom used to make this for me when I lived in Australia, and called it “chill”. I’ve tweaked it here and there – to my taste!
Hope you like this. 🙂
It’s best eaten with green chutney, tamarind chutney and Indian pickles.
